IC2177 Seagull Nebula mosaic

[troypiggo]

Had a few clear nights recently so decided to dust off the gear and capture some photons. This is a 2x3 mosaic of the Seagull Nebula in Ha. I've imaged it before as a single frame, but it's a big nebula and I think this framing is much more appealing. As always, need more data, and RGB. Very quick processing for now, so a few artifacts from the mosaic creation I think. Don't look too closely :)

Busted my guts on this one last night with little result.

You have done well.

Nice framing :thumbsup:

Yes it's huge! :)

I too have working on this for the past few months.
Today I went to assemble the two panels I have collected 11 hrs full NB data on each but...
now I realize it needs another three panels to balance the content. :sadeyes:

Kill me now .....

Excellent big field, Troy. You messed up the timing though. Tough to compete with Mikey's version :lol:

Thanks mate.



If you don’t have the patience, this sport ain’t for ya :)



Cheers mate. One of my favs. I like some the blue reflection around the “head”



I’m not even trying to complete there :)

I agree, I love that bit..that's the IC 2177 bit in fact :)



Hey it ain't no competition mate, your shot is great, sharp and defined :thumbsup:

That's a great wide field Troy. Plenty of faint nebula right out to the edge of the image.
